Google Assistant without unlocking your phone after opting-in through your settings. You’ll be able to
perform basic tasks like setting a timer, scheduling reminders, playing music or asking it questions.
Beautifully crafted with the latest innovations
The Nokia 4.2’s compact size and edge-to-edge display with ‘selfie-notch’ delivers a smartphone which,
at just 8.4mm, is slim enough for single hand use. Elegantly designed with glass on the front and back, a
feeling of sturdiness and class is achieved thanks to its lightweight metal internal structure and satin-
finish polycarbonate frame. To top off the design, the power button comes to life with a natural
breathing light to alert you of notifications, making it easy for you to know when your phone needs
attention.
The Nokia 4.2 comes with a refined Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 439 octa-core chipset that delivers a
boost in performance when you need it most, allowing you to play your favourite games and stream
movies effortlessly.
Bringing flagship imaging features like multi-camera imaging to a new price point, the Nokia 4.2’s dual
depth-sensing rear camera captures stunning memories. Combining the 13MP main camera with the
depth sensor, you can take your shots to the next level and create stunning portraits and landscapes for
social media. Powered by AI and machine learning, you can create shareworthy photos with Google
Photos, and learn more about them with Google Lens, which lets you search what you see faster, and
interact with the world around you in a new way. The Nokia 4.2’s advanced camera app allows you to
find your inner artist with bokeh mode. Or, use the low-light HDR mode to capture multiple images
simultaneously and fuse them using advanced algorithms to create a single image with more light, less
noise, bolder colours and greater dynamic range.
Pure, secure and up-to-date, Android 9 Pie reinforced with Android One
The Nokia 4.2 launches with Android 9 Pie out of the box. It joins the comprehensive line-up of Nokia
smartphones in the Android One family, which means it delivers the latest Android innovations and
software experiences. Nokia smartphones with Android One offer great storage and battery life right out
of the box and come with three years of monthly security patches and two major OS updates.
Android 9 Pie includes AI-powered features to make your device smarter, faster and adapt to your
behaviour as you use it, so your smartphone experience gets better with time. The Adaptive Battery
feature limits battery usage from apps you don’t use often, and App Actions predicts what you’re about
to do so you can get to your next action quickly. These features further streamline your device’s
functionality and your overall Android experience.
